Power of Attorney and Guardianship
Sigal Belenson-Shafran Law Office
A durable power of attorney is an essential legal tool that allows anyone to ensure that the person who will manage their medical, financial, and personal affairs will act in accordance with their wishes, even if they are unable to make decisions for themselves in the future. The document preserves the appointer’s dignity, independence, and decision-making autonomy and provides an advanced solution for appointing a guardian.
What is a durable power of attorney?
A durable power of attorney allows you to appoint one or more people to manage your affairs in situations where you are unable to do so yourself. The document can set precise instructions regarding the management of assets, accounts, medical treatments, place of residence and more – in a way that ensures that your personal and family wishes are maintained.
Benefits and importance
The document helps prevent future disputes, protect your rights, and ensure that decisions are made in accordance with your wishes. It automatically replaces the need to appoint a guardian, and allows full control over who and what will decide on your behalf – while preserving human dignity and personal freedom.
